"All style, no substance"

What I like:

Simple and easy to use design

What I don't like:

Lack of continuity between applications

Review:

Like most people I was excited. It was the first time I’d touched a touch-screen handset and I was really impressed. After a few weeks, here’s my review:

**The Good:
1) It has a small, smart and clean design.
2) The menu system is intuitive and easy to use.
3) It’s fairly easy to use with your finger, although it does take some time to get used to and texting is very hard at first.
4) The camera is only 2MP, but it takes very good quality photos.
5) Has world clock; built in games; FM Radio

**The Bad:

1) There is a lack of continuity between applications. This is most notable is on similar applications like the radio and MP3 player - the volume slider is implemented differently (a slider and a clicker).
2) MP3 player design is terrible. It doesn’t, at this moment in time, allow you to play music contained outside the MP3 folder (including subfolders). This means you have to store all your music in one folder.
3) No built-in MP3 jack
4) The screen has become scratched easily.
5) The web-browser is awful! Seriously, if you need one then stay away. I was really disappointed by it.
6) No flash player.
